Shade Cloth Fabrics

TenCate's Nicolon^® Leno Lock Shade Cloth Fabrics shade horticultural plants grown in commercial nurseries and greenhouses.  Our shade cloth fabrics add beneficial cover for agricultural crops and livestock and can also function as industrial debris nets.

Nicolon^® Leno Lock Shade Cloth Fabrics provides desirable characteristics of knitted fabrics with the economical advantages of woven fabrics.  These shade cloth fabrics contain a weave and heat fusion process that gives the fabric more stability than traditional woven shade fabrics.

 Ground Cover Fabrics

Nicolon^® Ground Cover Fabrics control weeds found in land maintained by professional growers and landscapers.  These highly useful ground cover fabrics feature woven polypropylene that allows water and nutrients to pass through while preventing roots from implanting into the soil.  TenCate’s Nicolon^® ground cover fabrics can also be utilised in soil separation and barrier fencing applications.
